Veoma nam je žao da čujemo da Bosna i Hercegovina neće učestvovati na Evroviziji ove godine. Nadamo se da će nam se uskoro vratiti. Dok čekamo njihov povratak, možemo se podsetiti njihovih početaka i nekih od njihovih najboljih nastupa. Bosna i Hercegovina je prvi put učestvovala na Evroviziji 1993 godine, sa pesmom “Sva bol svijeta”.
Pesmu je izvela grupa “Fazla.” Pesma je dobila maksimalnih 12 poena od Turske, i osvojila 16-to mesto od 25. Jedan od njihovih najpoznatijih, a možda i najboljih nastupa, bio je nastup Hari Mata Harija sa pesmom “Lejla” (2006), koja je definitivno osvojila srca publike, tako da je i dan-danas veoma popularna. Sa tom pesmom su osvojili 3-će mesto, kao i ” Marcel Bezencon” nagradu. Turska i Hrvatska su im dale najveći broj poena. Bosna je uvek dobro znala da izabere svoje predstavnike, pa su mnoge od njihovih pesama pokupile simpatije publike. Tako je pesma “Rijeka bez imena” od Marie (2007), osvojila 11-sto mesto, takođe “Bistra voda” od Regine (2009) osvojila je 9-to mesto, kao i “Marcel Bezencon” nagradu. Zatim, sjajna pesma “Love in rewind” od Dina Merlina (2011) osvojila je 6-to mesto, a pesma “Korake ti znam” od Maye Sar (2012) osvojila je 18-to mesto. Postojale su neke glasine da će ih grupa “Regina” možda ponovo predstavljati na Evroviziji ove godine, ali nažalost to nije tačno jer je Bosna i Hercegovina morala da se povuče sa takmičenja zbog finansijskih problema. Ova zemlja je prošle godine preživela velike poplave i potrebno je dosta novca kako bi se ponovo izgradila. To je i glavni razlog zbog čega neće učestvovati ove godine. Želimo joj brz oporavak i nadamo se da će nas sledeće godine obradovati svojim učešćem i da će sjajnom pesmom najaviti svoj dolazak. Do tada, ostaje nam da uživamo u njenim prethodnim nastupima!
We’re very sorry to hear that Bosnia and Herzegovina won’t take part on ESC this year. We hope that they will come back to us soon. While we’re waiting for them to come back to us, we can remind of their beginnings and some of their best performances. Bosnia and Herzegovina took part in ESC for the first time in 1993 with the song “Sva bol svijeta.” Song was performed by music group “Fazla.” Song got maximum 12 points from Turkey and won 16th place from 25. One of their the most popular and maybe one of their best performances was performance of Hari Mata Hari with song “Leyla (2006), which won hearts of the audience and it’s really popular even today. They won 3rd place with this song, as well as “Marcel Bezencon” award. Turkey and Croatia gave them the higest number of points. Bosnia and Herzegovina always knew to choose good their representators, and many of their songs were popular among the audience. Song “Rijeka bez imena” by Maria (2007) won 11th place, and song “Bistra voda” by Regina (2009) won 9th place, as well as “Marcel Bezencon” award. Then great song “Love in rewind” by Dino Merlin (2011) won 6th place, and “Korake ti znam” by Maya Sar (2012) won 18th place. There were some rumors that music group “Regina” will represent Bosnia and Herzegovina on ESC this year, but it’s not true unfortunately, because Bosnia and Herzegovina had to withdrew because of financial problems. This country survived big floods last year and it needs a lot of money to be re-built again. It’s the main reason why they won’t take part on ESC this year. We wish her fast recovery, and we hope that she’ll make us happy with hers participation next year, and that she’ll announce her arrival with a great song. ‘Till then, we can enjoy in her previous entrances!
